After the army set up camp, the scout cavalry team sent out had already rushed back, giving Top Gun a gratifying news, that is, the greedy wolf army was indeed on this path, and the rear army was already more than twenty kilometers away from here. It is estimated that the vanguard has reached the hamlet.
Since it was already the 21st of February, the moon had not yet risen in the first half of the night, so it was pitch black after dark. Top Gun estimates that the Greedy Wolf Legion is not fast on the path, and even if it does not flee to the other side of the river, but goes straight down the river, it will take a lot of time. Therefore, Top Gun was not in a hurry, ordered the army to rest, and then pulled out the camp and went straight to Reef Town in the middle of the night.
Before it was dark, the vanguard of the Greedy Wolf Legion had already arrived at the small village by the river, and Yang Tian and the others didn't know if the Yellow Turban Army would chase after them, so they still chose to cross the river.
The procession that stretched for dozens of miles was not to be able to pass through guò, and it was only before night completely that the greedy wolf legion crossed the river. Yang Tian then ordered the wooden bridge to be destroyed, and when he was done, he camped around the village to rest.
Although the inhabitants of the village were eager to stop the Greedy Wolf Legion from destroying the wooden bridge, no one really dared to stand up out out of fear of the opposing army. In the end, Yang Tian took out twenty taels of gold, which completely eliminated the unhappiness in their hearts, and invited Yang Tian and several other leaders to eat a hearty game in the evening.
Also in the second half of the night, Yang Tian took advantage of the moonlight to set off from the camp overnight, and there were no trees on the river beach to block it, but he could see the road clearly.
At dawn, after Yang Tian ordered Wuma to lead the army south along the river, he rode Xiaobai to the rear to check the movement of the Yellow Turban Army, but found that the other party did not chase after him. When he first found out about this situation, Yang Tian was still depressed, because he had made up his mind to lead the Yellow Turban Army to the place he planned to fight a decisive battle with it, if the Yellow Turban Army did not come, his calculation would be in vain.
However, after landing at that fork in the road, he found that this place was full of messes, and countless footprints stretched south along the official road, Yang Tian seemed to understand the other party's intentions, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer. However, Yang Tian still rode Xiaobai along the official road and chased him.
When he saw the army stretching for dozens of miles on the official road in the air, Yang Tian was relieved, and immediately rode Xiaobai straight to the south.
Under the leadership of Top Gun, the Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang County finally arrived outside Jiaoshi Town in the evening of the same day, and if they had rushed directly from the county seat to Jiaoshi Town, it might not have taken so much time. However, due to chasing the greedy wolf legion and turning a corner towards the southwest corner, the time was delayed.
However, if Top Gun wanted to lead the army to take Reef Town directly, he didn't have that much courage, in case the county town was killed, there would be no place to cry.
Top Gun didn't think he was too late, he estimated that if the Greedy Wolf Legion had been walking along the river, they had just arrived at the beach at the moment, and if they wanted to get to Reef Town, it would be at least tomorrow morning. If you don't walk along the river, then you can march on a forest path, I'm afraid the speed is even slower.
In his opinion, Reef Town at this moment is like a stripped beauty, waiting to be occupied by himself! As for the tens of thousands of player legions that had just arrived inside, Top Gun didn't pay attention to it, even if the hundreds of horned horse archers were there, there was no room for play on such a battlefield.
So as soon as he arrived at Reef Town, Top Gun decisively ordered an attack.
However, things did not go as smoothly as he imagined, and when his army was still six or seven hundred meters away from Reef Town, the huge boulders of Qiang flew out of the town and smashed into the center of the dense soldiers.
Top Gun is really a little confused, where did this reef town get so many catapults? Looking at the posture, there are at least three or four hundred units! Moreover, small catapults can throw a maximum distance of 500 meters, which is obviously not as good as the catapults in Reef Town.
Tiger Jī said movingly: "Boss, I'm afraid there are hundreds of medium-sized catapults in here, it is estimated that they were transported by the player army in Baiyun City, if we grab them, what city can stop us!" ”
Top Gun is still very calm, he doesn't think that hundreds of medium-sized catapults are guarded by tens of thousands of low-strength player legions, I'm afraid there are still catapults inside, and ordered: "Pass the order, go all out to attack the city, I'm afraid there are still some high-ranking soldiers in this reef town." We must take this town before dark, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will be. ”
The tiger nodded excitedly, and then went down to work.
Although the catapult was powerful, it was impossible to cover the entire area, so a large number of soldiers soon rushed within 100 meters of the stone wall.
Suddenly, countless soldiers emerged from the city wall, holding divine arm bows, and fired at the swarming Yellow Turban Army. The vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army, which rushed to the forefront, suddenly fell like wheat harvesting. There are also a larger number of player soldiers with short bows, shooting at the Yellow Turban soldiers outside. The distance of 100 meters is enough for these players with low strength to play.
Top Gun was dizzy, and it felt as if he had hit a stone again. He roughly estimated that the number of soldiers holding the Divine Arm Bow on this stone wall was definitely not less than 5,000. It's crazy, could it be that the Greedy Wolf Legion has returned to Reef Town?
It seems that this is the only way to explain the origin of these fifth- and seventh-order archers. He had been closely monitoring the junction between Luoyang and Shuining, and during this time, except for the player's baggage army, there were no other reinforcements from Baiyun City entering Luoyang County. Moreover, there is also his eyeliner in the player legion of Sky Watching City, so he naturally knows the situation of that team better.
Although he wondered why the Greedy Wolf Legion had returned to Reef before him, it was not the time to dig into the cause, as countless soldiers were killed on the battlefield at every turn.
At this time, several high-level leaders of the Lingyun Guild hurriedly ran over, and the tiger said, "Boss, it seems that the Greedy Wolf Legion has returned to Zhenhai City, what should we do?" ”
Top Gun looked at the sky and said, "Collect your troops immediately and fight again tomorrow!" In his opinion, since the Greedy Wolf Legion had rushed back to Reef Town, it was clearly not a wise choice to attack in the dark.
At dawn the next day, Top Gun ordered most of his army to storm Reef Town from three sides, and he was bound to get the hundreds of medium-sized catapults inside.
The battle of death officially began, and the dense army surrounded the reef town, and countless arrows and flying stones passed from above, taking away the lives one by one.
Top Gun also wanted his own archers to suppress the archers on the city walls, but his high-ranking soldiers were lost in the battle between Creek Town and intercepting the baggage troops of White Cloud City. Relying on fifth-order archers, it is impossible to shoot against the opponent's archers.
But fortunately, the stone walls of Reef Town are not wide, and only one column of archers can stand on them, and they cannot alternate several columns and shoot in turns.
Soon, some of the Yellow Turbans rushed under the stone wall, and the soldiers at the front held huge trees and crashed into the stone wall. This is also the experience that the Lingyun Guild has summed up after the last attack on Xiaoxi Town. Although this kind of crashing wood is not as good as a siege vehicle, it is also a hundred times stronger than a personal weapon.
But these soldiers have also become the objects of special care for the archers of the city wall, and countless players are frantically vying for the points and experience that are sent to them.
A large number of fourth-order archers of the Yellow Turban Army also rushed forward at the risk of death and shot at the defenders at the head of the city, causing some damage to the players defending the city. But compared to being able to gain points and experience lightly, this damage can't resist the player's feelings at all.
After an hour of fighting, the group of seventh-order archers on the stone wall was replaced. But before Top Gun and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, another group of archers of the same size were deployed to the stone wall to continue to harvest the lives of the besieging soldiers.
At the same time, a group of sword and shield soldiers were sent to the stone wall to provide protection for ranged troops.
Top Gun was even more sure that the Greedy Wolf Legion had rushed back to Reef Town before him, but the strength of the Greedy Wolf Legion also frightened him. In just this period of time, his side lost forty or fifty thousand horses, while the defenders of Reef Town only lost less than seven thousand, except for the three or four hundred and seventh-order archers, the others were all player soldiers. It's just that fortunately, these high-ranking soldiers will also get tired, otherwise this battle will not be able to fight.
The war went on so brutally......
The blood of the robe made every soldier crazy, and watching his companions who had been with him day and night fall beside him, the breath of despair gradually affected everyone on the battlefield.
Top Gun now has only one belief, and that is to fight! If you keep fighting, you can't stop, and once you stop, you will lose this war, and your grand ambition to dominate the world will never be realized.
Finally, a section of the stone wall collapsed, and except for the player with low strength above who fell down and was killed by the stone, all the high-ranking soldiers jumped down lightly.
After the stone wall fell, a scene that stunned the Yellow Turban Army appeared, and several rows of heavy shield soldiers stood densely inside the city wall, firmly guarding the defense line of Reef Town. Behind them were a larger number of pikemen and archers, and judging by the equipment on their bodies, they probably wouldn't be lower than the seventh order.
This steel wall stretched all the way to the end of the stone wall, and if Top Gun saw this scene at this moment, he would find that there were definitely more than 40,000 seventh-order soldiers here.
But the soldiers in the distance didn't know what was going on inside, they only saw that the stone walls here had fallen, allowing them to rush into the town and kill at will! and not die under the city walls in a suffocated manner like now.
At this time, several parts of the stone wall were in danger, and someone in the town immediately ordered all the soldiers on the stone wall to be removed and abandon the stone wall.
Without the archers on the city's head to suppress it, countless Yellow Turban troops began to frantically pound the stone wall. A few minutes later, the entire stone wall collapsed. The campaign was transformed from a siege battle to an encounter, with the twin sides fighting in a completely fair position.
Standing behind the Yellow Turban Army and watching the battle, Top Gun discovered a very crazy thing, that is, there were so many high-ranking soldiers in the town, and the rough estimate was probably no less than 70,000. (To be continued)
